international programs and diversifying student’s offerings. Theprogram brings engineering students from both universities into an innovative model ofexchange agreement that combines the development of an academic, research, and societal studyabroad experience related to a sustainable or renewable energy topic. Undergraduate studentsfrom both institutions are engaged in a summer course, a research experience for undergraduates,and interaction in local professional contexts related to the selected topics, in order to connectacademic and research contents with societal needs from an abroad perspective.During this student exchange, students will take part in classes directly related to the selectedresearch topic, language classes, culturally adaptive
issues.The specific aims of the grant are three-fold: 1) Establish new and strengthen existing trainingprograms in biomedical engineering in sub-Saharan Africa; 2) Train biomedical engineers andmedical doctors to evaluate newly developed HIV-related and other testing and therapeuticdevices; 3) Train post graduates from business schools to scale-up development and launch newhealthcare practices. In support of these specific aims we have created four distinct annualtraining sessions: 1) week-long annual planning meetings hosted by either UNILAG or UI andfacilitated by the NU team; 2) ten-week long biomedical engineering training programs at theUniversity of Cape Town (UCT) facilitated by UCT and NU faculty ; 3) participation in two-week long Kellogg

an increase in clicks from the TTU engineering students. For example, the image below of Spongebob Squarepants was related to an extension date for our Chile programs. The headline was, “There’s still time to apply to Chile programs! The deadline has been extended to this Friday”. Within 15 hours it had reached 90 people. Figure 1.4: Facebook Meme Example Another marketing tactic that the IEP found successful was using the program flyer as the image to inform students about their opportunities. The IEP did this with three different programs and all three different post received over 160 clicks. Areas of growth that has been started or plan to start in the
